maid war

Chapter 236 The Great Library of Lisbon
The core of Lisbon is the floating city, so it doesn't pay much attention to the control and management of the outer city.

In the outer city, the five-meter-high city wall looks very majestic, enough to withstand the attacks of some scattered monsters and demihumans, but the actual defensive effect in large-scale wars is open to question-this is just an ordinary city wall, not like obsidian. Also resists fossils as mud spells.An extraordinary mage has countless ways to create a large hole in such a city wall.

The role of ordinary city walls is more to restrict the entry and exit of business travelers and prevent tax evasion.

As a city of magic, mages naturally enjoy certain privileges. In addition, the monitoring and prevention of people entering and leaving the outer city is not as strict as Jinshuilong City. Therefore, after paying the city entrance tax, Green and his party entered the city. .

The spacious streets, the three-story red-tiled residential buildings, the busy residents, the city scenery in front of you is similar to most cities.

"Isn't this too easy? When we were in Dragon City, the guards at the gate would check the identities of those who entered and exited, but the city gates here don't even check?" For how easy it was for him to enter the city, the elder sister controlled the teenager. Jason felt a little unbelievable.

"See that?" Green pointed to a tall tower building in the center of the city.

It was a tall, slender tower building with a huge sphere at the top.

"That is the mage tower?"

"No, that is the [All-Seeing Eye], a monitoring eye that can monitor the entire city."

Hearing Green's words, sister-controlled boy Jason couldn't help but take a breath: "Monitor the whole city?"

"If a crime occurs in the city, it can be found there in an instant, and then the security team will rush to the scene with a team within 5 minutes."

The sister-controlled boy frowned involuntarily: "This kind of thing...does it mean that we will be peeped when we go to the bathroom?"

"That's not the case. The [All-seeing Eye] can only monitor the situation on the street, and cannot see the situation inside the house. As long as you don't urinate in the street." Simply put, it is just a satellite surveillance for the city.

Although there is monitoring in the sky, due to the huge gap between the rich and the poor in Lisbon, the law and order in Lisbon can only be said to be average-although there are not many robberies, there are a lot of thefts.

After entering the city, Green found a hotel near the relatively safe administrative area.

Since it was already very late, everyone rested after settling down.

Early the next morning, Green ordered the rest of the people to move freely, and then Green took the carriage full of books straight to a small castle not far from the hotel-it was a stronghold of the mage organization "Great Library".

Lisbon adopts the Magi Council system, the Magi Council is the highest authority in Lisbon, and all administrative officials are appointed by the Magi Council.

The parliamentary system makes it difficult for Lisbon to produce a dictator, but it also allows Lisbon to breed many large and small magical organizations-the status is somewhat similar to those "political parties" on Earth.

The "Big Library" is one of the top three most influential large organizations in Lisbon. The organizational philosophy of the "big library" is "knowledge is priceless". Anyone who can provide a "valuable" new book to the "big library" can enter the library of the organization to browse the internal collections.

The higher the value of the book, the longer it can stay in the library, and the specific value is evaluated by the gatekeeper of the "big library".

The "big library" has two libraries, one of which is in the floating city, and the other is where Green is going now-a building that looks like a castle.

Green drove the carriage to the big library.

"Knock knock~" Green knocked on the gate of the castle.

After a while, there was a "click" and a window appeared on the castle gate. A gray-haired old man appeared in the window.

The mage's robe on the old man was very old, and he looked like a poor and ordinary old mage, but the magic aura on the mage's robe was no weaker than that of Green's mage's robe.

Green: "Hello, I am a traveling magician. I come here with knowledge and hope to exchange knowledge with you."

The old mage looked Green up and down, and at the same time glanced at the maid behind Green.

Green's age looks very young, which reduces points among mages whose knowledge = age, but the strength of extraordinary mages is enough to make up for this shortcoming.

"What book?" The old mage said in an old voice.

"Many books from the lost civilization Anriel." Green paused, "I packed up the entire library of a mage tower."

Green's words successfully aroused the interest of the gatekeeper.

"Ancient book?"

"Yes." Green nodded, "Many ancient books."

"Wait a moment."

The old mage closed the window.

After a while, only a "squeak" was heard, the gate of the castle opened, and the old mage came out from it.

"Where are the books?"

"In the carriage." Green pointed to the carriage behind him, "There are a lot of books."

The old mage walked to the carriage and looked through the collection of books inside.

Civilization will develop, whether it is magic or technology, the further it goes, the more powerful it becomes.Therefore, spells in ancient books have no advantage over modern spells, but the books from "Lost Civilization Anriel" are an exception.There is no direct connection between the magic of the lost civilization Anriel and modern magic. Although there are similarities, there are also many thoughts that are completely different from modern magic.

The so-called "stones from other mountains can attack jade", for modern magicians, the lost civilization Anriel is a "stone from other mountains".

After flipping through one of the "Burning Hand" spell books for a while, the old mage couldn't help but read it.

Burning Hand is not a big deal of spells, and there are similar spells now, but the magic theory of the lost civilization Anriel is very different from modern magic.So after seeing the "Anriel" version of the Burning Hand, the old mage immediately became interested.

"It's almost there." Green suddenly reached out and covered the spell book, "I don't think there is any doubt about the value of these books, right?"

"The theories in these books are very interesting." The old mage raised his head and looked at Green, "Yes. You can go in."

"I still use these books, so I can't give them to you. You can send someone to copy them." Green pointed to the books in the carriage, "I think this amount should allow me to enjoy such a privilege."

To enter a large library, you need to provide books. If you let the large library copy it yourself, it will definitely affect the value of the books.But Green's books are simply too many.

The old mage glanced at the books in the carriage: "Okay."

After negotiating with the gatekeeper and confirming the time he can stay in the library, Green walked into the library.
